fall decorating

This is just the beginning of what I want to do for fall decorations, but there's a little guy hanging around here that is too much fun to play with-he keeps distracting me from the decorating process.
That's okay with me.
But I thought I'd show you what I've done so far.My mom actually mailed me a box of pumpkins. My family grows them to sell, and I was having a hard time bringing myself to buy pumpkins (I'm used to other people paying me for them) and so she filled one of those prepaid USPS boxes with pumpkins and gourds for me. Thanks Mom!

I used windex (thanks Teresa!) to scrub the stickers off of some empty sparkling lemonade bottles, then I put some fake brown and white daisies in them. I love the cheery, autumny result.
Then for the hanging flower jars in my half bath, I used white daisies, fall berry garland, brown ribbon, and filled the jars with acorns.
(The jar on the left is still waiting for acorns-I'm taking the acorns off of my neighbor's tree, and I haven't gotten the guts yet to take my ladder out there to pick the ones I can't reach... I doubt he would care, but then, maybe he wants his acorns to decorate with, too, right?)

I have some more projects I want to do.
I might get to them,
I might not.
